PLTR Shift: My Bold Move + 3 Explosive Setups This Week!
Hey Options Trader,
Another volatile week in the markets—tensions are escalating between Israel and Iran, oil prices are surging, and the FOMC meeting is right around the corner. Yet despite all the negative headlines, the market continues to push to new all-time highs, with buyers stepping in on every dip. In today’s update, I’m sharing my exact game plan for three key stocks, plus a major shift in my Palantir $PLTR ( ▼ 2.27% ) position.
Here’s what we are covering:
$QQQ ( ▼ 0.98% ) and $VIX ( ▲ 13.03% ) - Pullback Prices, My Plan.

QQQ and VIX - Key Levels
QQQ closed at $529 today but may be flashing a short-term bearish signal. We're seeing an RSI bearish crossover along with weakening MACD momentum, suggesting a potential pullback as early as tomorrow or Thursday. The first key level to watch is the $526 area, with a deeper pullback potentially targeting the $515 zone.
Any pullback in QQQ could open the door for high-quality entries in individual names, more on those later in this newsletter.
Meanwhile, the VIX spiked to 21 today, creating prime conditions for options sellers to collect 3–5% monthly premiums, sometimes even more on select tickers. If tensions escalate further between Iran and Israel, especially with potential U.S. involvement, we could see the $VIX ( ▲ 13.03% ) shoot up to 26 for a quick volatility pop before retracing.

Live Interviews Of Two Clients Profiting Big And On The Fast-Track To Early Retirement.
Last week, I had the pleasure of interviewing another client, this time based overseas, who cleared $18,500 in profit last month, achieving a 15% return on his account. He joined the program just before a sharp market downturn, which tested his mindset and strategy early on. In our conversation, he shares his full journey, from being a complete beginner in options trading to developing expert-level confidence and execution in just three months.
3 Stocks Priming For Breakout
$SOFI ( ▼ 3.15% ) - $SOFI closed in the mid-$14s today, continuing its push higher on increasing volume. With prior resistance at $14.80, the stock looks poised to break above that level once again. What stands out to me most is SOFI’s low price-to-earnings ratio, combined with the fact that it’s still trading well below previous all-time highs, offering a solid opportunity to sell premium while the stock remains relatively discounted.
At the moment, I’m selling the $14 strike cash-secured puts with a mid-July expiration, targeting a 4% return on capital.

$HOOD ( ▼ 2.35% ) - $HOOD has surged past its previous all-time highs, yet it still looks like a strong candidate for continued upside. The stock is currently forming a classic bull flag pattern, with a potential breakout above the $77 level on deck. If we see a pullback to the $71 area tomorrow, it could present a great setup for LEAPS call options.
Alternatively, the $67 cash-secured puts expiring in mid-July are yielding a 3.5% return, those are the ones I’m currently holding. Solid fundamentals, a strong technical setup, and attractive premiums, this checks every box for me.

$HIMS ( ▼ 0.9% ) - $HIMS is shaping up to be one of the strongest plays in the portfolio. Cash-secured puts are offering over 5% in premium, and the stock is still trading below its previous all-time highs—giving us plenty of room for upside. While earnings are scheduled for August 4th, which is worth keeping in mind, I’m currently selling the $50 strike cash-secured puts for mid-July expiration.
Technically, it’s forming a classic bull flag pattern, suggesting a potential breakout as soon as the broader market begins its next leg higher.
